War Z Survial Tips

Are you new to WarZ and need help surviving? Since this game is starting to pick up a lot of buzz from pc gamers, I decided to come up with some helpful tips that can keep players alive for a longer period of time.



Tip #1: Avoid using the flash light

As most players know, one of the first items you get when you first start the game is a flash light. The flash light can be used as both a melee weapon and a item to help players see better when it starts getting dark. The bad thing about this item is that it will quickly give away your location since the light is very bright and can not be turned off. Players should quickly look for a different weapon to replace this item such as a hammer, bat or gun.

Tip #2: Dehydration and Starvation
With this game, the developers wanted to make sure it was realistic as possible so they implemented two meters: the dehydration meter and the starvation meter, both which are white: After a certain amount of time in the game, both meters will start to slowly go down as your character will begin to get hungry and thirsty. It's up to the players to find different types of items that can help refill both meters. Once one of the meters is completely empty it will start flashing red. If these meters do not get refilled the characters will start to lose health so make sure you eat and drink whenever you can.

Tip #3: There is strength in numbers
Are you a player that likes to roam around and pretend you're Chuck Norris just taking out everybody one at a time with your flashy moves? Well I must tell you that this is WarZ!! Being a lone wolf is only going to get you killed! In this game, you will have to continually watch your back as zombies and enemy players are always after you. With that being said, implement a buddy system. The right amount of people on your team can give you an advantage when it comes to looking for food, weapons, and taking out enemy targets. Think of it as a military unit.

Tip #4: The Safe Zone

Sooner or later players will have to take a break from WarZ which means logging out of the game. Now players have the option to log out whenever and wherever they please, but I recommend that you log out once you have reached the safe zone. There are multiple safe zones on the map and all of them are circled with a red marker. Once inside the safe zone none of the characters can be damaged by another character or zombies. These safe zones also will give the players an opportunity to distribute all of the items they've found into their global inventory.

Tip #5: Global Inventory

The Global inventory is where players can store all of the items they've found once they've managed to get inside the safe zone. Use this once you've gathered a lot of items that you can't use. Putting those items in the global inventory will insure that you have weapons and food to use if you have to create a new character or if you get killed and lose all your current gear.

Tip #6: Pay Attention To Chat
When players hop into a server they will notice a small rectangular box towards the left of their screen. This is the chat box. So far there are two types of chat, global (blue) and proximity (green). Make sure you pay attention to what other players are typing especially if it's label proximity. This can help you avoid any confrontations. 

Tip #7: Don't Trust Everybody

One of the strategic points in the game is the players ability to trick others into thinking they're friendly players. Simply put, if you don't know them then don't trust them. They might just be waiting for the right opportunity to kill you. 

Tip #8: Looting On Low Servers
The best advantage a player has when trying to look for items and keeping them is to avoid the servers with a lot of people. The lower number of players on a server means the higher chance for survival.
